Emergent Citizen Groups

Hazardous wastes

The general chacteristics of emergent citizen groups oriented to hazardous wastes is depicted. While some of the findings were unexceptional, a number certainly were unanticipated and/or contrary to popular conceptions if not prevailing social science hypotheses. As such, a step has been taken forward in the understanding of the phenomenon of ECG's. The research results will have to be tested with more and different groups. In particular, it will be necessary to see how the observations hold up in different societies. Only when systematic knowledge about the universal and the societally specific characteristics of ECG's available will it be able to be said that knowledge in this area rests on solid ground
